Pope Francis will encourage illegal immigrants to enter the United States across the Mexican border when he visits in September.

Following his address before Congress on September 24, the pontiff will meet with immigrants and Hispanic families at Philadelphia’s Independence Mall.

Cardinal Oscar Rodríguez Maradiaga, the head of a papal advisory group of cardinals, said in March at Georgetown University that Francis would lead by example and cross the border if he had the time.

During a trip to Latin America in July the Pope criticized the “globalization of indifference” toward illegal immigrants and said it is the responsibility of government and society to address the problem.

In June Francis said Americans worried about illegal immigration and the financial burden it imposes on tax payers and institutions should seek God’s forgiveness.

“I invite you all to ask forgiveness for the persons and the institutions who close the door to these people who are seeking a family, who are seeking to be protected,” he said.
